Hello everyone! I have really enjoyed reading the threads in the forum for a good while now, and am just now considering making a submission for grading. Majority of my quality cards, Imo, are in the 70's that I collected when I fell in love with baseball, Johnny Bench, and the Reds. Seems that most on here do the bulk submissions, but was wondering if anyone had used the Premium or Express PSA service, and if you felt it was worth it. Thinking about sending in 5 of my best cards on Express. Thank you and interested in your experiences. I'll have to see if I can do a scan, but considering '78 Ryan, ''77 Ryan, '79 Ozzie, '74 Winfield, have several '75 rookies, but they seem to be OC. also have several '62 HOFers, but don't think any would grade higher than 7. Football '73 Harris, '86 Rice, several Payton and Dorsett, still trying to find my '79 Newsome, which I'm sure I have somewhere...

    i would not.....buy a collectors club membership and get 15 done and the time to do them won't be too bad. :-)

    +1, I would never try those levels first sub, especially if you're mentioning OC. Piggyback on a bulk sub with a few 'test' items (perhaps a couple times) first to learn what to expect and how to improve your eye to get in sync with the graders. Your first experience is likely to be a disappointment until you learn what they're looking for.

    Thanks for the responses and I am kind of expecting lower grades because I don't want to be disappointed, and hope for the best. Maybe should try the bulk first. Just waiting 4 or 5 months seems like would drive a person crazy of anxiety. Do the club membership subs for 15 get graded faster than that typically?

    those 15 grades is much faster than bulk and your investment isn't too significant to get 15 done and see how it goes..... i would try to avoid subbing OC cards initially and perhaps save those for a bulk sub if you have to submit them....

    Appreciate it. Agree on the OC subs also. I'll let you know what I end up doing. Thanks
